She probably already is depressed and this just needed out. Deep down I agree with you, it was the right thing to say, as it was realistic. It's a long and arduous path towards acceptance. An acquaintance is in total denial right now and lucky I don't have the obligation I'd have if I was family. I couldn't lie or sugar coat my opinion either. I'm a bad liar.

I hope you can talk it over, and the best thing would be in person.
